Police said the unidentified family recently reported property missing from their home.

An investigation led police to the family's babysitter, Michelle O'Harte, of Sharon. Authorities said O'Harte sold several of the family's items for cash, which provided police with evidence to bring charges against her.

During her employment, O’Harte is believed to have stolen hundreds of dollars worth of personal items from the family.

O’Harte advertised her services on sittercity.com and had worked as a babysitter for the family for months, according to police.

O'Harte was charged with felony larceny. It was unclear when she would be arraigned.
